Are you KIDDING ME CG. I spent MONTHS and so much money getting the requirements for SLKR and you are going to let people just instantly unlock all of his and Rey's requirements WITH RELIC 5 FOR $30?!?!?! I am going to have an aneurysm. And you are doing the same for Starkiller and raddus?!

Newer players also have to suffer through the same grind because you did?Look at it another way, at least you saved money not paying for themNothing wrong with offering a monetary option for people to catch up to endgame and compete with other game modes that require them (especially at a low price)

Nothing wrong with offering a monetary option for people to catch up to endgame and compete with other game modes that require them (especially at a low price)

Then it's safe to say that this game has turned P2P/P2W, right?

no

You can still play this game without spending a dime so its not Pay 2 Play (P2P)

You can still beat opponents who purchase the lightspeed bundles AND someone purchasing this bundle can still lose to other opponents who haven't purchased the bundle, so its not Pay 2 Win (P2W) since paying for these bundles cannot guarantee victory

I don't think so a new F2P player who downloads this game currently can ever beat someone who buys off GLs from packs without "spending a dime" lmao. It's probably just the "end-game F2P players" you are talking about.

Those new players will never be facing players who spend on packs though

So I still don't see an issue

Outside of squad arena but the rewards on that game mode aren't that amazing that its the end of the world, just some shards that you can also collect at higher squad rankings (it takes ~3 months to get to level 85 anyways so that game mode is always gated out for new F2P players)

I'm a bit jelly of the people who haven't unlocked Rey or SLKR yet and do spend. This is something I would for sure buy myself if I didn't have Rey or SLKR. I'm still debating on the 19.99 pack cause there's 4 toons in here I don't have relic 5 yet.

Asking for options I guess XD

Should I buy the pack?

You guys have no idea how much money CG made by these new packs...... If you are in a 250M or lower level guild you should know that how many people bought this.

If you're someone who can afford to spend, taking 1 toon to r5 for $5 is a great deal ... at least compared to typical prices for access to things like this.

L3 is a great toon. Carth is situationally very useful. Young Lando is required at relics for TB.

T3-M4? Well, I don't have much use for him, even though I have him at relics, but let's write him out. Now your price is basically $7 each for a great toon, a situationally great toon, and a toon that you could take a miss on except that he's a TB requirement.

To me that's good value.

Yes. It’s unfortunate timing for you specifically, but the Lightspeed Bundles aren’t the problem. If there’s any issue with the original lsbs, it was a lack of communication and forthcoming-ness. FoMO is CG’s greatest asset.

I got everything to R1 (been playing for 9 years now and counting) before lightspeed bundles came along, and have absolutely no problem with this. It's great to see it made easier for new players to make progress. The number of toons has more than tripled from when I joined and I don't feel like waiting 9 years for everyone to catch up. I even buy some of them just to save some relic gear on a toon or three. Love them, and love how they make life easier for newer players.
